I can get my Crosshair impact swapped in now.

I just need to pick it up,. I got there 15 minutes after it shut today DOH.

That's the block i have!

Nice block, just be careful you dont twist it when tightening as its possible to install on a slight angle

Bought a 19 button RAZER Naga Trinity. (don't judge me, yes i need 19 buttons!)
What gonna i do with the additional parts?? Ideas..?! Brandnew, i never will use them tho.

And i shot today a 1TB Samsung GEN4 nano SSD for 45€/$ off! the booklet is missing and the package is not 100% in shape.

Those Business Prime Warehouse Deals are cool.

They can also be a good investment if well looked after, I bought a Rolex Submariner back in the mid 90's, cost £4000 back then (tax free), I had to get the strap repaired last year and the guy in the Rolex shop charged me an arm and a leg for the repair but offered me £7k for it providing I still had the original certificate and case which I did.

I bet he thought @Tatty_One he can afford the watch in the first place, I'm going to charge him double!! :laugh:

freeagent · Sep 6, 2021

I had an 83 GMT Pepsi.. man I loved that watch. The girls in my life used to laugh at me when I would pose with it.. it told the correct time twice a day. It had unauthorized work done and needed a dial, and a tune up inside. I had no papers with it, and I sold it for 3500 to pay for car repairs and other things. Thinking back, I feel the same emotion about my X58 rig that I sold.. regret. That car was written of a year an a half later.

Crazy really how much Rolex watch value increase over time,my mum bought a Rolex watch back in the 90s for 800 or 1500 I can't remember which is now valued around £10k+. Sadly that got stolen with load of other things in the house years ago.

FireFox · Sep 7, 2021

Ordered this

I know that it is not tech related but it is part of the Custom Loop which is part of the PC :laugh:

Hugis · Sep 8, 2021

bit the bullet, nice low price on this for a future htpc build i have planned

Edit :--only 2 left now

phill · Sep 8, 2021

Might not quite be tech as such I guess, but I do have to play it on tech......

Massive thanks to @W1zzard for these two!! I had to pay a massive 19p more but hey!! Not a complaint in sight at all from me

The only complaint I have is that my internet sucks, so it'll spend the next 2 days dragging it down.... or what feels like 2 days... :laugh:

Thank you TPU!!

I've never played it but thought and saw it at 75% off and then saw all the DLCs and thought, nope, I'll stick with just the game :laugh:

and bought it.. I hope it'll be a good laugh to be honest. I'm looking forward to playing it as it gets such great reviews

Any particular favours there Firefox??

It is, but you'll get fined more than what you earn. :roll:
